This particular take on the venerable G-Wagon will be limited to 65 numbered examples. Each will come with a €310,233 price tag but for that financial outlay you'll be getting the only production SUV currently on sale that offers a 6-litre bi-turbo V12 engine, a 0-100km/h time of 5.3 seconds, 630hp being channeled to all four wheels via locking differentials and a transfer case and a 1000Nm of torque.

The Final Edition comes with 21-inch alloys with a bronze finish that contrasts against the silver brake callipers. The underbody skid plate is also finished in a matte bronze, as are the exterior trim elements that aren't treated in obsidian black.

Inside, the cabin features Mercedes' highest quality design nappa black leather with contrasting brown stitching. And as cossetting and luxurious as the interior is, Mercedes goes to great lengths to highlight the car's genuine off-road process. It can reportedly cope with an 80% slope, ford at depths of 60cm, has a 27° approach and departure angle, and is stable driving at perpendicular angles of up to 28°.
